As of the end of this month, I will be departing Salesforce.com and
joining Crunchy Data Solutions (http://crunchydatasolutions.com),
whom you might recognize as being already the employers of Stephen
Frost, Joe Conway, and Greg Smith, as well as a few other folk who
hang out on pghackers.

While I enjoyed working at Salesforce, it was sucking an awfully large
percentage of my time away from the PG community. With this change,
I expect to return to spending more-or-less full time on community work.

regards, tom lane

Sounds like you'll be in good company, and us community folk will
benefit more from your *mad skills*.

So,... congrats?

Yeah ... I'm not sure how we got from Proboscidae all the way over to
Theria, but whatever. At least it's still under Mammalia.

It's great that you're doing what you want to do. I take it that
Crunchy's model involves more FOSS and less special sauce...

Cheers,
David.

Excellent news. Glad to have you back; we all missed you.

The short answer is yes, Crunchy is committed to FOSS.

Further discussion isn't really appropriate for this list, but feel
free to ping me off-list if you'd like to chat about it.

Thanks!
